On Monday night, the Bruins lost Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals, losing the series 4-2. What’s worse is that they actually held a 2-1 lead with less than two minutes to go in the game. In a span of 17 seconds, the Blackhawks pulled their goalie, scored the tying goal, and then scored the go-ahead goal to put the Bruins on the brink.

On Tuesday, the Celtics and Clippers finally reached a deal to send coach Doc Rivers to Los Angeles for a first-round pick in 2015.

On Wednesday, Aaron Hernandez was finally arrested and charged with first-degree murder in the death of Odin Lloyd. The Patriots cut all ties with the tight end.

Late Thursday night, the Celtics were at it again, trading two franchise cornerstones in Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce, along with guard Jason Terry, to the Brooklyn Nets for five players and three first-round picks, effectively ending the “Big Three Era” and the team’s chance at winning, for now.

Fortunately, the weekend is here, and next week has to be better. Right?
